| The stock horn on my 2003 harley davidson road king classic motorcycle had been anemic at best from new and had progressively gotten weaker in volume and now only works intermittently. the dealers has claimed that the low volume is typical of hd horns and that, since the intermittent failure occurred after the 12 month original warranty, it is not a hd problem. there has not been an accident yet. if there is, i might not be around to complain. *jb | |||
